Thank you Nicole I needed that reminder!! My scale has been stuck for about 2 weeks now and it's driving me crazy!!! I need to kick my butt in gear for workouts so I'm going to give Elise's workout a try. I like it because I can do it in the fitness center at work or at home.

I love the May fitness craze. So much so I jumped on board. Still doing Stiletto Fitness but took my grandson for a walk the other day in his stroller and jogged halfway through...which just cracked him up for whatever reason.

Nicole (or anyone) can you post a pic of what a correct squat looks like? I always thought I was doing it right but the last trainer I had kind of confused me! I know your leg is supposed to be at a right angle and your knee shouldnt' extend over your toe...it never seems right when I do it!

@nicoleleblanc The first part of June I plan to start the 30 day shred program I hope it works for me. There are alot of exercises I have found I can do at home now so my plan is to do stuff I can at home in the mornings and hit the gym in the evenings for my weights and treadmill/elliptical work. My birthday is exactly 30 days away and I want to be down 15 pounds.

@KimandByron I started the Monday after I turned 28, I start level 2 tomorrow and my last day is June 11. We're heading to Hawaii in July so I want to be super fit. You got this!! I'm already seeing results in just 10 days. I'll have to post a pic on my new guns!

My friend's girlfriend is a personal trainer and (like Uhlease says) she always told people to pretend they were going to use the toilet, or to actually do the squats using their toilet for the first few days - if you sit on the seat you're going too far!

Thats funny canooknic but a good idea. I made my daughter go on a walk with me tonight. We walked 20 minutes. This last week I've had some things going on and didn't get to make it to the gym but I'm going tomorrow for sure before we head out for our weekend of camping. I have already layed out my meals as to what I am going to eat while I am gone lol. My FI said can't you just let it go this weekend. I said NO WAY! lol

Exercise is great. It's a pity I do not have time for it. My body shape is good, but I am sure It will BE much better if I take regular exercises. Maybe it is the time now.

What's on the agenda today? I'm pretty busy. I'm leaving work a bit early to pick up my contacts (I'm way overdue) then I have a laser apointment. After that heading home to start level 2 of 30 Day Shred and then 75 squats and possibly a run if the rain holds off.

@KimandByron - my advice for the Shred - prepare to be sore for the first week or so but don't let that discourage you because it will get easier!! I was SO incredibly sore when I started it, it hurt to move or sit! But it really did get a lot better in just a short time and it wasn't long before I was flying through the first 10 days even though when I first started I was nearly crying by the end!

I did the first 50 squats last night, not bad at all! I did the first 36 in 3 sets combined with a shoulder move and my arms are actually more sore than my legs! 250 still sounds like a loooong way away though :)
